Psycho
First of all, I would like to state that I am not insane, deranged, unhinged, or mentally disturbed in anyway. The only reason I am here is because of a bomb. And the nightmares... but nobody knows about those.

I could still hear his screams… but in reality, I was warm and safe, tucked away in the place between dreams; why should anyone be screaming? What was so terrible about this place?

It had the most petrifying eyes, like dark ice. It pierced right through my soul; almost as if it had attached me to the ground and would not allow me to move.

Its nose was a mere shadow; there was no visible mouth to be found. I felt tears streaming down from my cheeks as I quickly back-stepped, the creature following me with hushed footsteps. “MOOOOM!”…
